Seraph

Seraph

Designation:
Seraph

Race:
Geth

Citizenship:
Geth

Aliases:
N/A

Age:
388*

Sex:
N/A

Psych. Eval.:
Seraph, while on the outside is a carbon-copy of any Geth consciousness, is officially deemed a unique individual for its personal experiences and knowledge. Initially Seraph acted with pure logic and considered emotions to be rudimentary. With some time interacting with organics, it has picked up on some nuances of emotional language and, more importantly, a nudging feeling of protecting them.

Phys. Eval.:
Geth Prime Platform Specs
Function: A refurbished model of the pinnacle of Geth technology, the Prime utilizes battlefield awareness (heat sensors, night vision, radar disruption), team coordination (near instant communication and tactics integration), and overall strength and bulk that few organic humanoid species can match. One antenna is capable of relaying most of those functions whereas the second antenna is paramount for the transfer of Geth consciousness. Rarely seen without its semi-automatic pulse cannon.

Cosmetic: The twelve foot tall platform brandishes the famous “flashlight head” from the Reaper War with minor adjustments: one large light surrounded by a ring of 20 smaller lights. Its shell is painted silver with stripes and accents of blue to denote its relation to C-Sec. Two large antennas, heavily plated, tower from its back.

Stats: 3.6m height - 0.9m wide - 226kg

Conclusion: Excellent condition. Ready for deployment.

Biotics:
N/A

Education & Qualifications:
Geth Unit Seraph currently contains more than 500 Geth VI to assist Captain Sosa’Numos. With the evolution of consciousness for the Geth by Commander Shepard a century ago, a small step in advancement in their decision-making processes allowed a smaller number of VI to operate an independent platform. Seraph’s critical analysis of virtual functions are set by the collective Geth.

History:
Functionally immortal, Seraph has technically been around since its spiritual inception. Back on the Quarian homeworld of Rannoch, a cluster of Geth VI used for security programming at a museum found a temporary home in an animatronic Quarian dummy. While its functions were severely limited, it was connected to the ExtraNet and allowed the Geth to keep tabs on the world beyond the museum with moderate undercover protection. First it witnessed many Geth worker platforms being systematically “recalled” and destroyed. Next, some Geth began to resist on grounds of being alive and forced the Quarians to take more drastic measures and took up arms against the synthetic life, escalating the events from cautious unease into total conflict.

For a time, museum staff did their best to keep the annals of history and culture intact. One Quarian in particular, Welo’Sora, spent the first few weeks caretaking for the robotic segments and ensuring their longevity. Welo’Sora noticed the oddity in one animatronic and discerned the Geth hiding amongst them. Instead of calling attention to the piece, he spent much of his time caring for the robotic platform and diverting curious eyes.

With nothing to do but spectate during the early events, the cluster worked to connect with the growing Geth infrastructure. In time, the museum closed and the threat of permanent disconnection from the universe so early on loomed over the cluster, just aware enough of being able to exist and soon no longer. Using every last iota of power as efficiently as it could, it siphoned emergency generators and kept only high priority virtual tasks powered on as the animatronic itself was dormant. The next few months are drawn out until the precision orbital bombardments.

Next comes the near genocide of the Quarians. Millions are easily wiped out, forcing the survivors onto their migratory fleets. With the bombing of all the civilian buildings came the destruction of the museum. If a machine could ponder its own existence in the universe, it had the capacity to lose hope. Amidst the debris of the structure was the shattered animatronic, staring blankly to the heavens above.

Geth freighters dotted the skies as teams were dropped down and began their service of cleaning and rebuilding. On the brink of total shutdown, a nearby drone platform wirelessly connected to the animatronic and discovered the cluster of Geth VIs. With no loss in haste, the drone salvaged what parts it could and introduced them to the collective.

While like an ocean of fish, the Geth could harmoniously and instantaneously communicate, the cluster of VI with their unique experience would chime in with their experiences for every discussion. Like most Geth, they did not join the heretics as they sought out the help of the Reapers and remained with the collective Geth. Their directives were few but with the whole synthetic life society, they pushed for agreeable relations with the Quarians. Eventually, with the massive aid by Commander Shepard, they evolved not only their self of being but also their relationship with the Quarians and were among the first to be transferred into the environmental suits for immune system boosting.

Back on Rannoch for the first time since the dawn of the Morning War, the cluster came to be known as an individual designation: Seraph, in the English tongue. Nearly a century later, it briefly yet significantly meets Sosa’Numo, future Spectre and Captain of the W-178. With her “profession” in virtual space and free-spirited activities, she wins a respectable affection from the Geth and opts to stick with her until she leaves Rannoch.

Due to its (slightly more) benevolent nature towards organics, Seraph is eventually assigned to one of few independent platforms ever created. Meant to be more of a protector rather than an attacker, the Geth manufactured a Geth Prime platform and soon received approval from Union 2201 to send a platform to the Citadel. A quick sequence of events unfold, leading to the Geth Prime being nominated to pilot and assist a known acquaintance: Sosa’Numo.

Save for a dozen Quarians that Seraph assisted for a few decades, this Geth is particularly unknown. Its arrival as a Geth Prime on the Citadel is a very recent development.

Yggdrasil Chronicles: Iron Grip

Pumped to get my gnome up to some clockwork hijinks!

Yggdrasil Chronicles: Iron Grip

A Gnome, an Orc, a Human, and a Dwarf walk into a resistance headquarters.

The resistance leader asks the gnome how he has served the resistance to take back Tyberia.

The Gnome responded with, "I creatively craft for our crippled comrades cosmetic compatible chassis constructions. A new arm and a leg does not cost them, well, an arm and a leg (technically)!"

The resistance leader ponders the Gnome's answer but after a long pause nods in understanding.

Elijah Grayson

Elijah Grayson

Tier A: ”You’ve passed many tests to get to this point. Consider this battle your final exam before the big leagues.”

Tier B: ”You’re doing well so far. Now it’s time to apply what you’ve learned up to this point.”

Tier C: ”Let this be a learning experience for the both of us. Ready to begin?”

Name:
Elijah Grayson

Age:
28

Gender:
Male

Birthplace:
Turffield

Gym Type:
Normal

Appearance:

Hider

Standing before you at 5’11’’ is a man in his late twenties, well-dressed in a tailored black suit complete with striped shirt and tie combo. If it were not so late in the afternoon, you would have seen him at his peak with a clean shave, but by now he’s gained the infamous five o’clock shadow. Observant steel-blue eyes peer out from beneath dark hair the shade of charcoal. A simple pair of black slacks and shined dress shoes complete his official look.

Outside the gym, Elijah will dress appropriately for the weather and steer as far away from the stuffy suit-and-tie as he can. His favorite warm weather attire will be a tee and shorts, as they’re comfy and easy to wear. The cooler months will see him layering up nicer earth-toned jackets and hoodies.

Personality:
Should Elijah have the choice in three keywords, they would be: methodical, attentive, and empathetic. Fortunately he is very close to the mark, as he applies everything he has ever learned to battles and social interactions alike. Every Pokémon and every human requires encouragement, compassion, and understanding. In his eyes everyone can always learn and improve, whether it's new or existing skills, so he does his best to make the most of every moment to be better.

There are times that he is accused of being cold and calculating during battles, when the reality is that he can become very engrossed with the activity and considers emotions to take a second place to maneuvers. The higher stakes his battles, the more concentrated and less energetic he will become.

Beyond the arena, Elijah is supportive of every combatant, win or lose. In fact, he has a tendency to aid losing trainers with training curriculums he writes up specifically for them to see more progress in the future. Winning trainers that keep in touch with him can expect little praise and more tips on how to adjust their tactics (should he deem that necessary).

Biography:
Hailing back to his childhood in Turffield, Elijah was fully in the stereotype of a teacher’s pet and studious type. The city was smaller two decades ago, and the school there was sorely lacking compared to Motostoke, Circhester, and Hammerlocke. Even during his pre-teen years, he sought out the library on a daily basis and would frustrate his peers with constant reminders of homework and tests.

One late weekend evening, scouring the non-fiction aisles of the local library, the young Elijah stumbled across a Smeargle doing the most blasphemous thing: painting inside the innocent inked pages of several study tomes. At first Elijah was furious, ready to throw hardbacks at the small creature, but the surprised Pokémon dropped its defaced book to reveal a beautiful rendition of the particular passage it was marked in. Inspecting the book closely, he sees that this mass-printed copy of the regional maps was wonderfully done in more color and detail than he had ever imagined.

Turning to the Smeargle, he apologized profusely and even attempted to ask it to show him more of its works; anything related to history is a big plus. It understood his request and happily agreed to this and their arrangement formed from tenuous ideological standoff to friendship to partnership. As Elijah grew up, he learned that his studies could take advantage of the newfound medium, his school career taking on less stress and even deepening the understanding that there are many ways to learn one thing.

His interest in battles didn’t come until his studies abroad. Upon graduating high school, he looked for more prestigious schools in other regions, ultimately switching colleges three times as he landed on education as his major. With his old Smeargle friend’s offspring in tow, they discovered there is more than simply entertainment behind battles and tournaments and even entered a few novice tourneys.

As soon as Elijah turned 24, he found his way back to Galar and applied to the Turffield gym as a gym trainer. In four short years, his part-time teaching and part-time training flourished into taking over as the new gym leader. Building up a name in his community, many look up to him for guidance and leadership beyond Pokémon. He has yet to take on the Champion’s challenge, but has had the time to take on all the current gym leaders at least once in unofficial matches.

Team:

Tier A

Loci, Gigantamax Snorlax
Data, Porygon 2
Therium, Slaking
Nolzur, Smeargle
Yeth, Furfrou
Destrachan, Exploud

Tier B

Aipom
Bouffalant
Lickilicky
Lopunny

Tier C

Meowth
Eevee
Miltank

Relationships:
Generally, Elijah respects everyone and enjoys not having to teach outside of his job. Those that tend to bend or break the rules, however, may earn a stern look and, worst case scenario, a lecture. Thankfully, other Gym Leaders all know what they are doing in their respective gyms and battle tactics, so he’s less scolding and more likely to ask for stats and training routines.

Mass Effect: Phoenix | A search for a Captain and Co-GM

Ooh, my old account from the pre-RPG crash had some ME characters and RPs. I'm definitely interested if you're taking in more.

Galarian Stories

Just curious, what's the period of time that this all takes place? One season?

Galarian Stories

I was also under the impression that there is no particular order, rather Gym Leaders have multiple teams based on the number of badges a trainer has.
